In mid-air, dazzling purple light surged out, accompanied by intense spatial fluctuations, and the Void Gate belonging to the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall appeared.

Whoosh!

The Void Gate connecting to the Ten Thousand Beasts Realm opened, and a stream of yellow light instantly flew out from within.

The yellow spiritual light flickered continuously in the air, and as it converged, a relatively thin figure was revealed.

It was a fox demon with a human body, but a fox head, looking rather wretched.

This fox demon was dressed in a gray robe, with a frail body and a pair of slender, lively fox eyes, hiding a touch of cunning deep within.

Waving an ancient folding fan in hand, Fox Yuan shook his head helplessly, gazing southward and sighing.

"Alas, I don't know if the White Fox Lady has a problem with this old man, giving me such a difficult task. This time, I might lose my life.

The Venerable Red Sparrow clearly recommended the young Peacock King..."

Fox Yuan was one of the stewards of the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall, under the command of the White Fox Lady. During the recent council meeting of the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall, he was unfortunately pushed forward by his lady to be the envoy to recruit the Thunder Tiger King at the Tiger King Ridge.

Being pushed forward wasn't the issue; the most fatal thing was that most of the Demon Kings thought he was suitable, so with no choice left, to avoid disgracing his lady, Fox Yuan could only brace himself and take on the task.

In Fox Yuan's view, this task was not a good deal!

Since the emergence of the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall, intelligence gathering on secular affairs has been ongoing, with many interesting communication devices available, so Fox Yuan was quite familiar with the Great Qin Empire's situation.

Especially this Thunder Tiger King, who was considered one of the top strongmen in the secular world.

And because he had taken on the task to recruit the Thunder Tiger King, before setting out, Fox Yuan focused on studying the Thunder Tiger King's deeds.

In Fox Yuan's eyes, the other's strength, even if not as great as his lady, was not far off.

Trying to recruit such a powerful and domineering character, how difficult it was. Most importantly, this Thunder Tiger King had his own territory, living carefree, with no reason at all to join the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall and lower himself!

Now Fox Yuan feared that if he mentioned joining the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall, the domineering Thunder Tiger King would strike him. Then he'd be in real trouble.

Although many young ones liked to call him an old immortal, and he indeed lived a long time, this didn't mean he wanted to die; he hadn't lived enough yet.

"When I meet the Thunder Tiger King, I must pay attention to my wording..."

With a long sigh, Fox Yuan stopped thinking too much, and the folding fan magical weapon in his hand suddenly expanded, carrying him swiftly southward.

...

Tiger King Ridge, Peach Grove Valley.

Lazily lying in front of the Bodhi Cave, Jiang Che slowly opened his eyes, looking towards the Cyan Stone Pool.

Nangong Luo, as usual, was immersed in cultivation within the Cyan Stone Pool.

Jiang Che mainly wasn't looking at her but at the little fellow, Xiao Zi.

Ever since Xiao Zi made a promise to Jiang Che last time, he's been diligent, adhering to Nangong Luo's schedule, getting up at the crack of dawn to practice hard.

Seeing Xiao Zi standing on a cyan stone, earnestly absorbing Spiritual Qi, Jiang Che couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

Just as Jiang Che was about to close his eyes and drift back to sleep, a respectful shout came from outside Peach Grove Valley.

"Is the Thunder Tiger King here? I am Fox Yuan, under the command of the White Fox Lady of the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall, here on an official task. I request a meeting with the Thunder Tiger King!"

Fox Yuan's voice penetrated the grand array.

Jiang Che, who had closed his eyes, opened them again, frowning slightly.

Ten Thousand Beasts Hall?

An ancient force of the demon clan?

"I wonder why the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall is looking for me?"

Jiang Che thought silently.

However, since the other party represented the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall, Jiang Che decided to meet them, after all, this was the first ancient demon clan force he had heard of.

Nodding to the awakened Xiao Zi and Nangong Luo, indicating they continue with their practice.

Outside the valley, standing on the folding fan, Fox Yuan anxiously looked at the Peach Grove Valley, which was covered by a grand array, and waited somewhat impatiently.

He wasn't sure if the Thunder Tiger King would see him, given the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall's unfavorable reputation among Demon Kings in the Great Qin Empire due to its forceful unification of the Northern Territory.

Like a powerful, yet ruthless and unreasonable bully, not many people liked them.

"You want to see me?"

Jiang Che stepped through the grand array, appearing before Fox Yuan in a flash, gazing at him.

Fox Yuan, who hadn't gathered his wits yet, was startled, but he quickly composed himself, having seen great scenes before.

"Greetings, Thunder Tiger King!"

Looking at Thunder Tiger in front of him, Fox Yuan's heart trembled; the other truly was terrifying!

"Hmm, speak! No need to beat around the bush. Why has the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall sent you to find me?"

Jiang Che nodded, asking coldly.

"Hehe, my Ten Thousand Beasts Hall, upon hearing of your great strength and exceptional talent, specifically sent me to invite you to join our Ten Thousand Beasts Hall."

Fox Yuan smiled ingratiatingly, respectfully stating his purpose for being there.

In front of such a strong figure, any lies were death sentences; Fox Yuan didn't want to lose his life.

"Join the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall?"

Jiang Che was taken aback, not expecting the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall to have this plan.

"You can go back! I will not join the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall."

Shaking his head, Jiang Che ignored Fox Yuan and returned to Peach Grove Valley.

He would have to be insane to join the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall; he was free and reigning as king at Tiger King Ridge, who didn't enjoy that?

"..."

Seeing the Thunder Tiger King disappear in the blink of an eye, Fox Yuan swallowed back his futile attempts of persuasion, shaking his head helplessly.

"Forget it, after all, the task given by the hall to old Fox has been completed."

Having thought it through, Fox Yuan didn't stay longer, turning to leave.

The next day

Jiang Che was sleeping soundly when he was awakened by a voice like thunder.

"Thunder Tiger King, come out quickly!"

"Who dares to act unruly in my Tiger King Ridge!"

His sleep disturbed, Jiang Che became furious, rushing out in a rage.

Only to see, outside the grand array, a young man with a bird's beak and human body, dressed in red brocade clothing, sitting arrogantly in a red battle chariot, looking disdainfully at the grand array ahead.

The young Peacock King, possessing the Ancient Five-Colored Peacock Bloodline, was the offspring of the Venerable Red Sparrow from the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall and was recognized as a prodigy among the demon clan within the hall.

"Who are you? What do you want from me?"

Jiang Che stared coldly at the other, questioning with irritation.

"Hehe, Thunder Tiger King, you finally came out. I thought you were someone great, daring to be arrogant in front of my Ten Thousand Beasts Hall, but now I see you're nothing special!"

"Listen up, I am the young Peacock King under the command of the Venerable Red Sparrow of the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall. I came here today specifically to invite you to join our Ten Thousand Beasts Hall; join us now! Of course, you can refuse, but..."

The young Peacock King looked at Jiang Che with contempt, letting out a light laugh.

"You're threatening me, the king?"
